#5 of 34 95 4runner not starting at all by herocouldsave Aug 07, 2006 (9:06 pm)
I have a 95 4runner that has been working fine the last couple of weeks then i went out to start it one day and i put the key in and turned it on, the dash lights came on. then when i went to start it turn the key and everything went dead. there was no click no try nothing. it had sat for a couple of days during 100+ degree weather so i wonder if that has anything to do with it. the battery is good and i am going to check the alternator and starter this week. any other ideas??

It can be corroded battery terminals, worn ignition switch, poorly designed/worn relay, etc. Before getting too involved with relays, switches, starters, etc, I would check the easy stuff first. Get a schematic and check each component in the circuit. Also, you might want to check the neutral start switch. Good Luck and please post any results.

#8 of 34 My 95 4runner has an odd problem by ericferguson Feb 11, 2007 (8:15 am)
Please help me, I have no clue what is wrong with my car....when im driving down the road my battery light comes on, along with my anit-lock brack light and sometimes even my parking break light. Everything gets brighter along with the headlights and dash lights. Also the radio will cut off but all this happends only when I accelerate. Whenever I get a new battery it works for about 3 days right...but then the problems start...in the mornings it wont start....i can jump it off....but it wont start on its on...if i stop somewhere and cut the car off for about a maximum of 30 min. the battery goes dead....but if I stop and cut the car off and try to start it within 30 min. it will start back like the battery hasnt drained out yet....ive replaced the battery a few times so its not that...I Havent had the alternator tested at autozone or antyhing but ive put an electrical meter on it and its charging fine...so if anyone has any ideas of what this might be please let me know...

Replying to: trblss (Feb 13, 2007 12:47 pm) This sounds like a problem I had with my Explorer. There is a relay that is supposed to disconnect the power when the ignition is shut off that had failed in the on-condition. When this happens the battery is drained in a few hours. You can check it by making sure everything is shut off including the doors shut and bulb removed if there is a light under the hood. Then disconnect one battery terminal and connect a current meter between the disconnected battery terminal and the cable you just disconnected. If there is any current more than about 30ma-50ma there is a problem with the relay. Hope this helps.
#11 of 34 Will not stay running! by benitoenr Feb 17, 2007 (1:51 am)
I have a 1990 Toyota 4Runner, it is a V6, 4wd, and an automatic. It died yesterday and it was jump started to get it home. I replaced the alternator because it was bad. I had the old alternator and battery tested, the alt. failed the test and the battery was charged and tested good. When I replaced the new alt. the vehicle starts then dies. I checked the voltage and the electrical system and its good, I checked the fuel pressure and it was good. It has spark and power to start, but will not stay running. Could it be an electrical problem such as the computer due to the vehicle being jumped or a vacuum/fuel problem? Replies to this message: trblss (Feb 20, 2007 6:27 pm)

Replying to: benitoenr (Feb 17, 2007 1:51 am) It sounds like the battery is not holding a charge. A weak battery may start the truck but it won't run. Try replacing the battery or check the batter voltage after it dies. A failing alternator can ruin a battery. Please post any results!
